Global Perspectives on Politics and Diplomacy

This journal follows a single-anonymous (single-blind) peer review process. Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers with relevant subject-matter expertise, who are not informed of any competing interest and who evaluate the manuscript's originality, methodological rigor, and contribution to the field. Reviewer identities are kept confidential and are not disclosed to the author at any stage. Authors are not anonymized to reviewers. Reviewers submit a structured recommendation — accept, minor revisions, major revisions, or reject — to the handling editor, who makes the final publication decision. The typical review period is 4–6 weeks from submission to first decision.
